Little Bit Crazy

Ok, so I was getting worried that I hadn’t run into any good blogging material since I started my blog but alas, yesterday I was given some decent material. I was out in unfamiliar commuting territory for me. Typically when I go to this area I take the MARC but this was after the last MARC train and taking the metro from Silver Spring takes forever as to get to Shady Grove you need to go through Downtown DC. So being the savvy commuter I am I figured out a quicker way. I needed to take a bus to a metro closer to my final destination and then I was on my way. Well, as I said I don’t know this area well at all so I brought up the area I needed to be on my map on my phone and found the general vicinity, unfortunately Google maps doesn’t tell me EXACTLY where the bus stop is and there were several bus depots stops along this street. So I walked past a bunch of bus stops before finding my final destination. I had to walk past a bunch of people sitting on the bench to see the sign that was on the opposite side to know that it was the right stop. As I walked by this woman barked at me, “ARE YOU EVER GOING TO LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!” If you have ever seen the show Big Bang Theory, I have now officially seen Howard Wolowitz’s mother. Seriously the voice was uncanny and honestly this woman looked exactly like the picture the paint of Howard’s mother. I didn’t really think anything of this emotional outburst as I have never seen this woman before in my life, nor had I been bothering her. I go and stand over on the opposite side of the stop and just start people watching. The entire time Mrs. Wolowitz’s is muttering and mumbling to the lady next to her. Again, not really paying any attention to what she is saying. I was about to pull up the bus’s schedule on my phone when I noticed a printed schedule inside the bus stop, instead of typing lots of info into my phone it was easier to walk over and read the schedule. So I go over and and Mrs. Wolowitz freaked out again! This is when she proceeded to tell me as I am just looking at the schedule that and not engaging her at all, I am stalking her and that if I didn’t leave her alone she was going to call the police and I was going to the big house. Yes, she actually used the term big house! At this point I am laughing to myself at the use of the phrase, big house. However, I am trying not to enrage Mrs. Wolowitz by her noticing that I am laughing and just walk away and go back to my little spot and continue to people watch. At this point the poor girl that was sitting next to her got up and moved to the opposite side of the bus stop and Mrs. Wolowitz and kept saying, Miss do you see….now do you see she was bothering me?! She kept saying this to that poor girl over and over again. The bus arrived the poor girl and I got on and Mrs Wolowitz stayed on the bench (thankfully). I hope she doesn’t encounter anymore stalkers before her bus arrives!
